Current days the entire world has the same goals: define the reasons of COVID-19 pandemic starting, propogate coronavirus vaccination and analyze all the factors which can make COVID-19 cases to go to zero. As those goals look rather impressive they can be achived through the regular analysis of COVID-19 statistics including new cases, fatality. testing etc. The goal of this project is analysis of real-life COVID-19 data, defining factors which are important for virus propogation, hospitality and fatality rates.

Plot describes that during first few weeks Malta had the highest testing rate across all countries, probably because it has the smallest population rate. But most of the observed period Denmark was a leader by testing rate. This number increased obviously and the highest testing rate (more than 14000) observed at the 51th week of 2020 year.
the correlation between testing_rate and positivity_rate can be as following: ************************************************************************* strong postive correlations 0.8423 for Czechia strong postive correlations 0.6266 for Estonia strong postive correlations 0.8957 for Latvia strong postive correlations 0.6383 for Malta strong postive correlations 0.9171 for Slovenia ****************************************************** strong negative correlations 0.1920 for Belgium strong negative correlations -0.1945 for Denmark strong negative correlations 0.0827 for France strong negative correlations -0.0026 for Ireland strong negative correlations 0.0951 for Sweden ****************************************************** poor correlations 0.4348 for Germany poor correlations 0.5511 for Greece poor correlations 0.2156 for Italy poor correlations 0.2447 for Netherlands poor correlations 0.3638 for Portugal

To compare countries by their geographical positions we can use interactive map.
As each country has different population level we estimated fatality rate - number of deaths per population level. Italy still keeps the leader position by median fatality rate and maximum fatality rate. High median levels of fatality observed for france,Belgium, Greece and Latvia also. The lowest median fatality belongs to Estonia, Denmark, Malta and Portugal have the lowest variability of fatality.
This project describes end-to-end data analysis of COVID-19 related data, including data uploading, filtering, reshaping, transformation and visualization. The main aspects of the project are relevant to the weekly data of 2020 statistics by 15 countries:
Greece Malta,Italy,Portugal,Latvia,Denmark,Czechia ,Sweden ,Belgium,France, Netherlands, Slovenia, Estonia,Germany,Ireland
Along the study there were found that Denmark describes the highest testing rate along 2020 year. There were assosiation between testing rate and positivity rate some countiers is strong postive like Croatia some strong negative like Cyprus and some poor like Italy . like At the same time weekly deaths are positively associated with weekly new cases at the high level. Italy described the highest number of deaths along 2020 with more than 75k defined cases. It also has the highest fatality rate among 15 countries used for the analysis.
All further steps relevant this project are oriented for the 2021 data analysis, including factors of vaccination. As different virus stamps have been defined during last month it is important to include this information to the further investigations of COVID-related data.
